Application filed July 14, 1909. Serial No. 507,631;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN TAS, a subject of the Queen of the Netherlands, residing at Clerkenwell, in the Kingdom of England, have invented a certain new or Improved Advertlsing Devlce, of w'hlch the following is a specification.

My invention consists of improvements in that class of advertising device 1n which a number of sheets, on whlch are displayed vadvertisements or other information, are

In earrymg'out my invention I employ a number of sheets (1, preferably twenty-four,

that arestretched on frames 6, and contain the advertising matter to be displayed. These frames and sheets are arranged to slide between the grooves or comb-like portions 0 of a slidably mounted container d that is operated by means of suitable mechanism connected with the setting wheel .0 in order to bring any one of the sheets into engagement with a pair of lifting arms f. These arms 7 are each provided with forked engagement pieces 7 that cooperate with extensions 6 on the frames Z) when they are. raised. Both of the arms 7 are attached to an angle bar 9 at their back ends, that is guided on rods 72. and adapted to be raised by means of a cord or wire '5 passing'over pulleys and connected with a sliding knob j in its path by the wheel 6.

the sheets a.

at the side of the machine. It will thus be seen that as the arms 7 are raised the forks I tainer d.

on crossscrew' shafts n. The shafts at not only serve to support the container at but as they are rotated they move the container to and fro according to the setting of the wheel 6. To prevent this wheel 0 being operated while any one of the slides is being raised I provide means for locking it as soon as the angle frame 9 is raised. These as shown comprise pivoted and weighted levers 0 engaging at one oftheir ends with the ends of the frame 9 and carrying at their other ends pins 0 or extensions that engagein one of a series of holes p in plates (1 on the con- What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. An advertising device comprising a casing, a container slidably mounted in said sheetcarrying frames slidably mounted in said container, means for sliding said container in said casing, means for grasping and raising any one of the frames in said container depending upon the position of the container, extension-plates mounted on each side of the container and having a series of holes, means adapted to casing, sheet-carrying frames slidable in saidcontainer, means forv raising any one of said frames from said container, means for sliding said container in said casing, extension-plates mounted on each side of the container and each having a series of holes, weighted levers pivoted ,to said casing and having at their weighted ends pins each adapted to engage in one of said'holes, the unweighted ends of said levers being adapted to be engaged by saidlifting arms when the arms are in their lowest position whereby the pins are lifted clear from the holes.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
